Not in the best mindset right now. Sorry for overreacting, and just being negative. With everything going on, it's crazy how everything has transpired. Like, I can't help but feel helpless in this situation, and just wanting to have some peace with this game. They are trying so hard to stray away from what made the game good. Every single update I have to be scared that they are going to ruin their game more. Whatever bro.
Nah, definitely not an overreaction. In fact it’s an appropriate reaction!
Nah your completely right in this situation Fortnite’s updates have been shit lately
I agree with you i do not Think this is good Fortnite needs to fix this
Nah it's fine
No overreaction every update they make their game more unplayable
Why is Epic always "fixing" things that dont need to be touched, especially recently
Because they need to justify to their board of directors they made changes to Fortnite.
I fear they’re going down the Call of Duty path now
Agreed. Recently it seems as though they are changing things just for the sake of it
Same goes for R6 with ubisoft, they "Fixed" operators when theirs nothing wrong with them
The lobby screen, the locker screen, the tabs at the top, the game modes, the gunplay, the attachments, the way weapons work and now cosmetics can be any price it’s all shit we don’t need
They’re definitely doing this to overcharge for cosmetics
They said they won’t
Exactly what I was thinking. With all the crazy prices on stuff lately I'm willing to bet this decision is for monetization
@@ConnieCannon-zq2mdand you believed them?
Nothing was stopping them from doing it before
@TheDigitalApple I mean who cares if they do or not bc yall still gonna buy the shit 😂
The locker UI is so bad. I tried staying positive but it keeps getting worse
I hate it.
I agree
yeah at this point the locker is just fully ruined now
They said they’re gonna bring changes to the background UI, there’s gonna be a mini pass and season 1 is labeled the LGBTQ theme and gaza. So excited!
I don't seen the problem imo
Worst thing Fortnite ever did this week

This week so far

It’s very sad what Fortnite has become in my opinion. It’s not fun at all, feels very soulless.

Don’t worry gta 6 will destroy Fortnite
Rarity background on skins looked visually pleasing to the eye when scrolling through the locker. Don’t like how you can’t tell what rarity something is anymore. They have made the game feel soulless and without personality.
What i'm saying and find it so stupid that they have background rarity for collab but not the original fortnite skin
So true
For real, they are trying so hard to make it "simplistic" but end up removing all the life from it and making it more complicated than it needs to be
For real! Plus, I used the rarities to keep track of where I was in my locker. It helped so much with organization since I could just remember the rarity and then sort through the alphabet. Now it’s just sorting through the alphabet, meaning it’ll take longer to find legendary or epic skins with names at the end of the alphabet
I honestly hope the backlash doesn't stop. I WANT Epic Games to go full damage control and realize how much they've shit the bed the past couple seasons.
it’s almost like no matter the criticism they don’t care. they’re going to be another game that doesn’t listen to anyone and it’s going to ruin this game even more than they’ve already done.
Won't work, the silent majority of players will still buy from epic
Agreed and unfortunately other companies are following suit because everyone wants that fortnite money, not to mention epic is really just using fortnite as a vehicle to sell unreal engine 5 so they are really double dipping at this point. S*** it seems like any multiplayer game that comes out these days or "live service" has crazy in-game shops and you can't even earn any free cosmetics. At least fortnite has somewhat kept up with giving the completely f2p players some stuff. They log on and do challenges, I'm not a destiny player but I've heard that they've been asking for almost 2 years for armor sets that you can earn and every update. It's just more $30 skins for your character. Like why would I want to even try that experience knowing what to expect?
I've been playing a lot of OverWatch recently, but they are in in a very bad predicament as well where the identity of the game has almost been completely lost and so they're just trying to pander to the new fans, the younger fans, and those who are willing to open their wallet consistently. But apparently even that isn't enough to keep Blizz/Microsoft happy because They acknowledged in their last earnings call that OverWatch was severely underperforming@@tails3927
People unfortunately forget about things to quickly these days. Like everyone forgets about literal wars in a few weeks, so just imagine how quickly people will forget/stop caring about this.
But yeah I fully agree. I would honestly be completely fine if they loose a bunch of money to where they have to look in the mirror and ask themselves “wtf are we doing”
they did this purely for money, this is just so they can put whatever price they want for skins without getting shit for it. now people can’t complain that rare skin is over 1200 vbucks theres gonna be no more standardized price.
People can still criticize skins being overpriced. Even if there’s no “standard pricing”. besides the rarity was more of an arbitrary label than anything matter of quality
Honestly I don’t think they’ll do money by recycling the same skins again and again every 3-4 days, this is just ridiculous
@@captainswagger2838 no people very much can still criticizing snd they should! my point is theyre doing this to increase skin prices without as much backlash. if they dropped a rare skin for 1500 people would be like wtf thats how much epic skins cost. no theres no rarity to compare to the price is whatever they want. at least with rarity there was a price limit Rare:1200 epic:1500 legendary:2000 like they wouldn’t price skins alone for more then what their rarity was worth
Day 3.5 of commenting till i gather vbucks
It’s so dumb,like why no rarities. Like honestly,now they can overprice a skin and don’t know if it’s an epic or uncommon
They literally told that prices are not affected and also they dont first make the rarity to the skin, rarity is the last thing they do based on what price they put that item for example they are like Hmm this skin looks kinda cool and all but doesnt have any styles at all so this should be 800 vbucks and then they put the rarity to uncommon. So they dont be like lets make legendary rarity skin, and then they make it ugly and price is 2000. Thats not how they do things. You are just a kid or teenager or even adult but thinking like a kid.
@@Joovain They said the prices won't change but they also say a whole bunch of other stuff and never follow up on it. Nothing guarantees the prices don't change.
that's a dumb thing to say as if the worthless rarity justifies a price in the first place
Cuddle team leader and panda team leader are both 2000 vbucks. This won’t lead to sudden new overpricing cause they were doing it before for some skins
The rarities meant nothing they were just arbitrary labels. Unlike in br itself where it actually means someth to have a legendary weapon over a common
@Joovain They're obviously not going to say the prices will increase are they 🙄
They better fucking revert this, I haven’t seen a single person who’s okay with this
They’re removing the things that made them who they are
I don’t think they will I don’t understand why they felt they had to do this now it’s all unorganized and I got ocd abt this sorta stuff

@@zkrvo NAW WTF😭?
I don’t know what they were thinking. When they said that they would be making the UI better, it now just seems to me that they were saying that to shut us up because they didn’t want to. Fortnite need to listen to their players more.
Definitely agree my man. Also, sup RM, long time no see.
It really feels like everything that made Fortnite Fortnite is being scrubbed away and removed.
What happened to the game I loved playing hours and hours of? What happened to the beautiful cartoony graphics? What happened to the fun and interesting itemshop rotations where literally anything could come back at any point? What happened to my locker and presets which were neatly organised.
Epic needs to start listening. Tim Sweeney needs to start listening. I’ve personally been putting in less and less time in on Fortnite and been less interested in the battlepasses. One day I feel like I might move on and that’s scary. I loved Fortnite and saw so much potential in the game that has now been squandered because of corporate greed and a man who has a vision for the game which ruins the original vision for the game.
I genuinely see a future where Fortnite BR gets the STW treatment and stops getting updates and new features because of the new modes/metaverse.
This is exactly what happened to Roblox just after the pandemic
Don’t think br will go away anytime soon. The number of people playing are here for br and double the number over the meta stuff
@@glitzliv oh but don’t forget the new players, and the little kids migrating from Roblox. What’s gonna happen is these little kids are gonna play br, realise that building is hard, then move to the discovery channel and start playing creator maps. Soon, as Fortnite becomes even more infested with these migrated kids, they’ll be the majority, and we’ll be the minority. Then br gets phased out and we’re stuck playing skibidi zone wars
This gives them the freedom to overprice the skins, which is gonna be annoying as hell
I really hope that skin rarities return. Fortnite should listen to their community more. They said they would revamp the locker, and instead they de-grade it. This entire "evolution" of Fortnite is going to be the downfall of the game. I just wish Fortnite would stop pretending to be a game that they aren't.
That’s what I’ve been saying, they are trying so hard to be a game they are not. It’s so obvious that it’s disrespectful to the players. If we want to play cod we’ll play cod.
This bro! They’re even going to add first person like what the hell… they’re LITERALLY trying so hard to be a game they truly aren’t.
Another thing to add to: things epic changed/removed that were perfectly fine
This means no more 800 "uncommon" skins. So sad
I learned to accept that this isn’t a Video game anymore,this is business whose only interest is making as much money as possible and not making a good game.
They are trying to trick us into buying more expensive skins without knowing the rarity
I don’t think that will work because of how they price skins we already know
Pizo’s statement perfectly summarizes my thoughts on this
13:40 is a W tho
It really is a shame to see what Fortnite is becoming. As someone who has been playing since 2017 and always enjoying the cosmetic side, it feels so that they’ve really gotten out of touch with the people actually playing the game. I agree that Chapter 5 really was a declining point :(
I'm still bitter over them taking away our Legacy Achievement Awards tab. All that history just gone without warning. Everything they've done since Chapter 5 has been a downgrade just slowly chipping away at the game :(
They say they want to make the game simple yet change the UI and shop every other update. And I agree that chapter 5 ruined the game because it made it a platform rather than a battle royale.
They are doing the exact opposite of making the game simple. The UI is getting more convoluted with each update.
They made changes we never needed, all of how guns work, movement, graphics being “realistic” it’s all shit we never needed
@@deeznuts23yearsagoI’m waiting for Fortnite kids to start attacking saying we’re being ungrateful 💀 also I knew they would find a way to screw up the game after season og
Epic fired the wrong employees
they have the wrong employees in general.
The avatar skins being 2,000 per skin is absolutely ubsurd and they won’t even let us just get the skin and pick axes separately to make things cheaper epic is starting to become way too corporate
BRO FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONED THIS!!!! I HATED IT, I GOT ZUKO BUT I DIDNT WANT HIS CRAPPY PICKAXE, ITS SO CHEEKS 😭💀
Fortnite removing rarities is like UA-cam removing dislikes
Pointless and terrible decision.
facts
remember in Season X when Fortnite tried to change building delay and when everyone complained and threatened to stop playing they're game, they changed it almost immediately? what happened to that team of people who actually cared what their community had to say...
Well community keeps on playing stupid game mode
If they stop playing it epic would give up and fix the shops
Who even plays video games anymore
stop giving them money i beg u
He’s addicted
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. When will companies learn
Its because warner bros and disney owns it now. This would have never happened with donold mustard
Fortnite making the most DIABOLICAL decisions ever
Donald mustard leaving was a big mistake
thank heck I've been using by season sorting for like 2 years.
That's my problem, I don't understand why everybody's freaking out. There's barely a difference between most cosmetics besides maybe Legendary v Common/Uncommon
@@hondaaccord1399Well little timmy, they can overprice their skins now as shown recently with some of the newer awful skins we’ve been getting. Alongside of them just having more control over what we buy. Fortnite, although is not the popular game we once started playing has Evolved way more into near corporate greed.
Which is why Item shop timer is disabled they have control over it,
Which is why item shops in general are bad, (Because of the new Music, and constant lego items they dish out). Which is why they control Creative maps you can no longer have gun skins in certain maps. List goes on.
@@hondaaccord1399 just the fact that all my skins are all over the place is bad. Maybe you have 3 skins so no problem but people like me who were used to where was what are upset. And all other bad things that come from this.
I've always used Season sorting too but everything was grouped by rarity within each season. It put collabs near each other and pushed Battle Pass skins toward the top of the list for each season. Everything they've done lately just slowly chips away at the game
this is a huge deal. just going to use search bar now. i knew where all my skins where in my locker. i have over 610 skins so its not easy to just try and find stuff now that its all over the place
WE SAID TO FIX THE LOCKER UI NOT TO MAKE IT WORSE 😭😭😭
They probably were going to do that but they came up with another idea and never told anyone about it
They miss heard us BADLY 😭😭
We were all dunking on Overwatch 2 and then Fortnite really said "Hold my beer" 😭
You hit the nail on the head here; something as minor as rarities being removed has much larger and sinister implications, and its just another way of Fortnite de-volving back into meeting the same fate that many other huge multiplayer games have met. I only hope Epic takes note of all the uproar against all these changes and reverts them, but it might be too late for that.
I really don't know why they hate the old things so much
I agree so much with the take that Chapter 5 ruined Fortnite
If the guy who has spent tens of thousands on your game (twice btw) is starting to hate it, you know you fucked up
At this point Fortnite is just degrading…
Literally haven’t played this season for more than 2 hours because it’s so unplayable and they just keep ruining the game
i play because i want to play but i get bored so fast its sad
I had a feeling that OG Fortnite was almost a send off to the whole original version of this game. And this definitely proves that point. They’re just becoming something else. I won’t be surprised if they change the game name next and get rid of all of their Original game modes
This is purely speculative, without concrete evidence, but observations and community sentiments have fueled this line of thought. Historically, Fortnite's item shop boasted a varied selection of skins and items, keeping the excitement alive. However, since the Lego mode debut, there's been a noticeable shift , the same skins with finished lego skins seem to cycle through the shop repeatedly (Note: Not all skins have lego skins with them i.e. John Wick, but majority of shops recycle the same content). The community has been quite vocal about our dissatisfaction with "terrible shops" lately. Yet, despite this feedback, the pattern continues. This situation led me to theorize, could Epic Games be strategically manipulating the item shop in coordination with their deal with Lego? Epic Games may have entered into contractual agreement with Lego that possibly is linked to sales performance. It's conceivable that if the sales since introducing Lego related skins/items don't meet certain targets within a specified time frame, Epic would then benefit from renegotiated terms, perhaps paying a lower commission to Lego. If this were the case, it would make sense for Epic to limit the shop's appeal temporarily, ensuring that sales figures stay within a range that would allow them to negotiate more favorable terms. It's a complex strategy, and one that carries risks, particularly in terms of player satisfaction and potential long term brand damage (Also would damage business relationships if true). Epic would likely have calculated that the short term loss in shop diversity and appeal could be offset by the long term financial benefits of a more favorable contract with Lego. To be clear, this is all theoretical. Business deals and strategies, especially in the gaming industry, are often shrouded in secrecy. This is my theory to make sense of a situation that, on the surface, seems to disregard community feedback and business sense.
Plausible- but it is an inherently disprovable theory. I hope something, anything comes from someone on why. It’s fascinating.
Tbh with all these changes they made, I hope that the game will finally fall completely off, so that Tim Metaverseey will finally get "punched" in his face.
I've hated him since Kindergarten.
If it keeps going in this direction it will. Eventually the only people left playing it will be 8 year olds that will loose interest and move on as well. It’s coming.
I doubt it will ever die unfortunately. If the game dips to a low amount of players, Epic can just rerelease Fortnite OG and BOOM, new wave of constant players.
@@Fnafan97unfortunately? The games good. All they have to do is fix the dumb changes. Just like what happened with the age rating, they are gonna get a lot of hate and get rid of it
@@Fnafan97the game came close to dying in chapter 4 if it wasnt for last resort, and the og map coming back was perfect timing, but if they’re bringing back the chapter 2 map it wont bring as many people back
@@HeluvaWeirdo no thr game isn't good it's horrible
why did fortnite do this

To get more money
@@shadrakibidapo7390 Clearly not I ain’t buying any of this shi
I don't think they are trying to 'kill' their identity for the purpose of straying away of what Fortnite was, I believe they are trying REALLY hard to please the other companies (mostly Disney now) with all these shitty changes that they are making it something that's more 'generic'. So sad to see.
They do this for no reason, this makes it harder for my friends and I to put in the same skin
when they removed trading in rocket league and the next day they came out with nfl skins or some crap, was a sad day for me. i stopped playing it about a year ago but trading was a cool featured i always used with random players. now its gone and this is the same thing Epic is doing to fortnite ):
RL was one of the last games I truly loved. I got SSL in season 9, then i just kinda played every now and then, and now I just don’t play at all. Fortnite is Epic’s main priority so they’ll crush everything that isn’t Fortnite.
The funny part? Fortnite is crumbling now.
@@TuxumI used to play rl aswell, and I won’t lie they did crush it in place of rocket racing. But Fortnite isn’t crumbling, as much as people will want it to, it’s not going anywhere cause they removed colours from the writing in the description of their skins.
It's not over reacting it's a true thing that chapter 5 ruin the game in different ways
Fortnite died for me when chapter 2 came around and they started using collabs to make money.
Collabs are alright as long as ppl are actually happy with them like in chapter 2 everything was fine w collabs they even did a good job in the marvel season imo it was pretty fun and not a single person hated it but now were js getting the most random ass pointless collabs nobody ever asked for
Same ch2 ruined the game
@@cr7stiano7.All og fortnite players stopped playing during that garbage s4 marvel crap collab they did

This is a HUGE punch to the face to anybody who has renegade raider or any of those very rare skins theyre on the same level as the rest now even though we know how rare some cosmetics are 🤦🏻♂️ everything peaked in the 2010’s…
not really, i have aerial assault trooper and it doesn’t change a thing. yes i agree this is stupid but it doesn’t change the rarity of my OG skin like you think.
Yo the problem was them firing the 300 of their employees, looks like they fired the wrong 300
On God they laid off fuckin 900 ppl while making loads of cash and the game just got worse
They are slowly killing their game.. Im Tired of Epic being lazy and removing good things.. im Slowly losing hope and im playing so much less than i used too Hope they Sort themselves out
The only thing lost in this situation is the ability to sort by rarity. Which i can’t imagine is that big of a loss
@@captainswagger2838Less of this being a thing that kills their game but it portrays how they are managing their game, which if it wasn't obvious it isn't very good
@@captainswagger2838it’s not this one specific thing. It’s all the small things that slowly combine into a massive shit pile that it now is. They haven’t done a single competent thing in 2 seasons. Everything is wrong with the game
@@enterdrace4590 I guess I just see it differently. Like the ui and epic games have their problems but br is really strong this season. Major ltm event, fun new weapons, good map, story is getting attention. I just don’t really get all the doom and gloom
@@friedrice7876 I guess I’m just missing most the small things. The only things I’ve heard is people criticizing the locker ui, Lego in the item shop and now this rarity thing
On tthe Topic of what you said at 4:48 Epic did make a statement saying they done plan to increase the prices, but even then they had no reason to remove rarity all for the sake of "Simplicity" even though the UI is super unorganized.
Dude those like a few hundreds of employees or whatever, HIRE THEM BACK because apparently whoever was running the shops and the locker was fired and replaced with either AI or just people who can’t run the game
Anime , cartoons and realistic brands needs its own rarity
they’ve got to be intentionally killing their own game for some reason
Like I said on your poll about removing cosmetic rarities. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But sadly, that's something gaming companies do nowadays. Especially Epic with changing the item shop and locker and making it even worse than it already was
I really dislike the changes recently, I've not touched the locker in months, except only changing a skin, which it's hard to browse skins when I could just look at the color and know instantly before, but now have to check manually. The UI is so plain and boring in general now.
When it comes to the rarity system, on one hand I get the change, it's honestly pretty pointless to have for it's just a "rarity" on the name/color, but changing this after so many years makes even less sense.
Now Epic will probably sell new skins soon and increase the price for who will know what is considered "legendary". As you said in the video, the avatar staff might be overpriced, most likely any collab will all be considered "legendary" in terms of pricing.
Soon Epic gonna sell all there stakes in Fortnite to Disney & it’s gonnna be a totally different game. It already feels so different, I lost interest
Rarity was an indicator of a price point or value of a skin. Uncommon or 800 for less detailed or less flashy skins without a back bling included, 1200 or rare for more of less the same but most have a back bling or are more detailed skins. 1500 or epic which are for skins that always have a backbling included are usually definitely worth the 1500 price tag due to them usually being highly detailed or having edit styles to choose from. And Legendary or 2000 vbucks which is set aside for truly unique skins or important characters to the storyline such as drift or the visitor. Or skins that deserve the Legendary status such as raven for example. (Also the superhero skins are 1800 because they don't include a back bling) anyway so my point is that rarity pointed out the value of a skin and having the skins sorted this way made it so much easier not only to look for skins in your locker but also to look at a skin in the item shop and kinda know what your paying for just by looking at its rarity. Where as now they can just say yup that's worth 2000 or that's worth 2500 etc.. without having to assign initial value to a skin. Take the avatar skins for example they are 2000 each and if each one is valued at an epic rarity they would only be valued at 1600 or 1800 at most (take the gia skin for example, it's an epic skins that comes with pickaxe and back bling and is only 1600) But since we can't see the rarity they can just slap 2000 on there and make us pay $20 per skin. Eh anyway just wanted to rant lmao 😂
You said it perfectly, fn is well and truly dead now. Of course, many people straight up quit after chapter 1 which I understand. But slowly but surely it's just deteriorated in quality. More and more crappy collaborations, bad storyline, more and more sweats, terrible locker UI now, and now even the core of the game, the rarity basis. Like oh dear, what a shame. Time to quit gaming and wait for gta 6
@@MBarnettlast season i trurly enjoyed chapter 4 season 4, felt like epic kind of learned my obsession with characters depicted as vampires, gargoyles with scary faces and wings. Loved that season, my last purchhade was fornitr crew shimmerdusk skin. My enjoyment ended at the end of OG season, i wasnt feeling excited to go back into higher quality gameplays as the chapter 1 map seemed to run smoothly and most if not all of my friend tab list was full and active.
Im so tired of fortnite, ive felt this way since the start of chapter 4 season 2, it felt like i was gradually sucked off of joy, someone else received that happines which ive lost. Chapter 5 season 1, the movement despite hated by many it was what got me excited, pulled out many of my skins even the ones i havent used for very long time to see how they would walk, it felt abit more community engaging even is most were alured together to negatively speak about fortnite changes.
This season, it should be something id enjoy, but why am i not enjoying it as much as any other chapters. I havent spent money in this game ever since chapter 4, im growing distain, my energy is filled with hate towords this company, i dont want to look at any currency currently not when a game has it on its screen and with the bite trap of 0,99 controlling people to benefit them.
I dont want to look at the share holders, they own mansions by now while sucking us dry. Ill finish this season and ill leave my account stale for a while, a year or so.
It makes me sad that the last seasons are turning into dust, plain and soulless is what this game has embodied.
@@blueskinblonde7230 facts, when I load up onto fn now it just feels so empty, dry and straight up irritating. Lego, festival and racing literally aren't fortnite games. Who hops onto fortnite to play flipping rocket league? Like go play rocket league instead at that point. But no, epic put all their energy into those shitty game modes instead. I agree won't be playing it anymore, 0 enjoyment. I don't about you, but I started back in chapter 1 season 2, at that time it was literally perfect, and I agree, OG season was the last farewell in a way. Because ever since then, it's been way downhill. Dull, boring, plain, the new locker sums up the way I feel about fn now just terrible

2024: Epic games removing rarities and trying to scam us
Only those who remember Rarities can only tell what kind of skins they are, in the shop. Based on prices...... but not anymore from now on
Was waiting for you to do a vid on this I’m upset because that means they’ll charge insane amounts for mediocre skins 😢
Lets make them bring back rarities like how we made them almost remove skin censoring
Skin rarity’s are what made skin, getting the cool tier 100 in legendary or getting a 800 green skin. Without rarity’s Fortnite may list green skins for more expensive now
I miss when Fortnite felt like a passion project/game when they listened and interacted with those who pretty much made them into who they are now. I like the game still but sometimes they make the stupidest decisions especially recently.
There's absolutely nothing we can say, I'm as speechless as you are. The game is so cooked, I'm done with it, I uninstalled it a couple hours ago. I can't take it, and the fact there's people out there on twitter that are defending this shit of a decision is insane to me. It's unfortunate the game had to be like this now : /
Although this might be a small thing to remove, it still makes this game feel less Fortnite-like
7:27 basically sums up my current thoughts. I stopped playing after OG because the game I loved for many years was gone, and I couldn’t bring myself to keep playing when the joy wasn’t there.
I think this is a good change. We have mid skins from early seasons that are epic or legendary and get charged way more than actually good skins from newer seasons that are both more creative and more detailed but get sold for less.
Just like how they killed Fall Guys and Rocket League, now they've killed Fortnite
It’s genuinely not ok what they’re doing nowadays personally, I hate the movement you can’t even escape the movement by going back to lobby because the UI is an eyesore. Now you can’t even go to your locker to change your skins because you don’t know where anything is. Everything is overpriced. The fact that every single update has been a add-on from the last one is the most stupid thing ever and so on chapter 5 is really killing the game like worse than 2021 and that’s really saying something
A skins rarity is what made unlocking legendary skins in the battle pass cool, rarities showed the price of a skin, without rarities they can upcharge prices
If they revert back it litteraly is an upgrade, like bro what is this.
Epic used to be known for quality clarity and communication.
Where did the old Epic go.
They were never good
Removing rarities from cosmetics does absolutely nothing. It changes literally nothing the only problem is the locker ui is trash.
It's hard enough with the first locker update they added removing the rarity color from the icons. Opened the game thus morning to check the shop and saw the locked disorganized and it's gross
Honestly, worst time for me to return to the game I’ve noticed. I even missed out on the Street Fighter skins and I’m even worried for its return or if they increase the prices for Street Fighter when it returns. Possibly might even considering quitting at this point
The ui is so bad now, its like they are actively trying to look like a cheap mobile game
Anytime I’m on Fortnite now and I decide to change my skin I don’t have a fun time especially if you have over 300 skins
It’s like Fortnite is a puzzle and every time Fortnite does something like this they are removing a puzzle piece and individually it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things but the more they do it, the more Fortnite loses its identity and I’m hoping that some things change and Fortnite can still keep its core identity. 😔
The best way I can describe why this is such a bad change is just… it shows epic doesn’t care. They’ve actively been doing the opposite of what a huge majority of the community wants. We keep begging and asking for changes and they never listen. This update is just yet another example of epic completely ignoring its players. Eventually we’re going to reach a tipping point where fortnite won’t be able to recover and will lose all good will they had with the community. We’re already pretty close to that now honestly.
I’m gonna be honest, they shouldn’t have removed the skin rarity’s because with so many players being used to that structure of the locker, it really throws players off. I definitely agree with what you said about how the legendary or epic skins made the skins feel epic or legendary. I feel like this change has gotten major backlash and so many people are upset, especially considering it was a pointless change. I wouldn’t be surprised if with all backlash and response they receive that they might revert back to the rarity system. At the end of the day it is just a very minor change. And a lot of what you said I don’t necessarily agree with. I can understand why you think that small changes like these make the game feel more soulless, however from epic games standpoint I can see where they’re coming from. With all the new game modes and cosmetics they are trying to implement it’s most likely hard for them to keep up with adding rarities along with making sure the prices match up. It may seem like a simple thing to do, but when it comes to a game developer’s standpoint it is likely overly challenging for them to keep up with the rarity system perfectly matching each cosmetics price. And when the pricing may not match up, the community complains or points this out. With the growing amount of different cosmetic types, removing the rarity likely helps to eliminate this issue. Also I want to talk about what you said with chapter 5 ruining Fortnite. Chapter 5 although very different, has been extremely innovative. In order for Epic to keep the players engaged, they can’t stick with the OG roots of the game. They have to keep expanding and break away from what it used to be. If they keep the same feel as OG Fortnite or the chapter 2 era the game will become bland. Don’t get me wrong, most of my favorite seasons were in chapters 1 and 2, but they can’t replicate similar seasons to these forever or the players will lose interest. It’s kind of like how players were at the end of chapter 1. They wanted a new map because playing on the same map, season after season has become so repetitive. OG and chapter 2 were fun time periods, but those eras needed to come to a close. I feel like recent Fortnite has been overly hated on for becoming more different then how it started. I don’t agree with this at all because change is necessary for the game. There’s a lot of people who complain about so many things about this game, and if they are so fed up with it, I ask why they keep playing. If you’re tired of this game, go find another game that peaks your interest as much as OG Fortnite this. Fortnite is still an incredible game that is doing things no other game has. The hate it receives is so unnecessary and I feel like people need to be more appreciative. Btw this was not meant to be hate towards you in any way, I just feel like the game right now is not as appreciated as much as it should be
**sorry for all my yapping. I just had to get this out of my system
I’m gonna quit Fortnite after 6 years
over a locker is sad and you liked your own comment 💀💀💀

Also, one of the dumbest reasons they banned your account was because it was a loss of money, merging one account to another from two different people. But the issue there is that they never lost any money since your friend gave up on the game, giving you all his old stuff. You didn't buy the account. It was given for free. They were still paid for it all.
Yes. Italk, I've been waiting for a Statement to come out for a little bit and I totally agree with they should bring back the rarities for skins and hope they don't change anything or a little bit towards anything in the game currently that was already hear sence chapter 1 and 2. Worst thing that happend in a few weeks.
All these people in the comments are sounding like therapists. Guys. Sure, there are more important things in life. But HERE we gather to talk about Fortnite. And the game isn't in a good state right now. So it's absolutely valid to talk about our concerns.
I really hate those arguments telling people that there are more important things than Fortnite. Yes, of course. But we are here to specifically talk about Fortnite. So in this space right here Fortnite is the most important thing.
Epic needs to see the backlash.
Man, how is it that Fortnite always does something to anger their community like did anyone ask for this. "Sigh" 😕
They were mad about us complaining about the locker not having the colors of rarity on the previews and decided to remove the whole feature altogether
Epic casually doing the complete opposite thing we asked for. We literally asked for the cosmetic ratites to be more pronounced and in return epic completely removed them.🤦♂️
Just when I thought Fortnite does the stupidest thing ever. They do something even more stupid
It’s honestly so stupid that they’re doing this
My account gets hacked and perma ban for no reason at all, I never broke tos, merged my acc or anything. And they say they can’t do anything about it.
5:15 the new Avatar skins are Epic rarity. I feel like the 2000 v-bucks price is a bit more justifiable, because they all come with a pickaxe(that's Rare rarity).
the locker UI change is the one thing I hate. I used to favorite loading screens to match the current season's theme and items from the current battle pass, so that I'll be more likely to use them.
that combined with skin and wrap loadouts being separate and skins/items automatically equipping when I just wanted to check out a style, makes me wanna change my equipped cosmetics less. instead of changing to a different saved loadout, now I have to select 2-3 loadouts(skin, wrap and maybe car). I'd be 90% ok with the locker UI, if they just moved the Wraps tab and maybe the Lobby tab to the Character tab and if they bring back pressing F to favorite/unfavorite items.
The issue with the Avatar skins aren't the price, because the bundle is a fair deal, the issue is you cannot buy the skins separate for 1,500. You're forced to buy the bundle for 2,000 even if you don't want the pickaxe
@@rockyali619 but why would you not want it?
Diversity equality inclusive bs ruining games now
ok where and how is this related
@@MegaGoaty38953:55
Epic simply just doesn’t want my money anymore.
hope we get like rarities based on days or holidays like st patricks day, valentines day, christmas, halloween, easter and more, this could make it a lil more organized
In my opinion, i think they heard about people talking about missing out on skins from previous seasons, and thats probably why they removed the rarity on skins because of that reason. But still a bit shady, though.
